Today my bike is sitting in the garage, very smug. Covered in mud splatters, she is not exactly elegant. That doesn’t matter because after Sunday’s gravel adventure ride she feels like a real bike and is wearing the grime like a badge, skiting to the neighbouring fxr about her countryside antics. The fact that Poppy the AX100 is dirtier than the DR650 has nothing to do with her proximity to the ground and everything to do with her intrepid nature, according to the yarns she spins. This afternoon it will be time for a bath, so I’ll let her bask in her gravelly glory a little longer…

This weekend's yarn, as narrated by the wee suzuki, is now on the KiwiRider Zine (http://kiwiridermagazine.blogspot.com/2011/08/ax-does-adventure.html)

My first bike was a brand spanking new AX100, prolly still going :yes:

Always hoped the exhaust note would get deeper, didn't :facepalm:

Back then gravel got in the way of a perfectly good road.........
